1675 Franken build- need advise

[glennmichael]

Dear all,

I need some advise on the Gen parts that suits which Josh's base case better.

I am contemplating between Josh 1:1 1675 and 1655 explorer

Reason to choose Josh 1:1 1675

1.) No need to worry about purchasing new hands set and fitment

2.) Better movement i suppose?

3.) Lug accepts my Gen Jubilee 62510H with 550 EL better compared to 1655 case (i suppose?)

4.) Accept Gen 16750 dial better compared to Explorer case? ( anyone can advise?)

Reasons to choose 1655

1.) Cheaper base cost

2.) Better CG than 1:1?

3.) accept Gen tube and crown better?

PLease advise and I would greatly appreciate if you could correct me if I'm wrong.

Many thanks!

Glenn

Hello glen. My vote is for the 1655. We spoke on the issues of the 1:1. I say 1655 all the way. The case is what u after on both of these anyway Everything on the josh 1:1 has to. Replaced. Getting hands r cheap. There's nothing else u can use besides the movement. And if ure going hardcore on ure build its not the correct one to use. Eventhough I agree, I rather have a nice Swiss eta for my build then sum chepo movement

Are you planning on building it yourself?

Hi Akira,

I've got not much of a technical skill to do it myself

Well, maybe you should check out the member Rolexaddict.

He built several 1675's the last few months, including my Franken 1675.

He's now a trusted modder on RWG1.1
